Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Bonafide Home Inspections is a one-person home inspection business in Marlborough, Massachusetts, run by Wayne Czybora, who has operated it as a sole proprietor since 1994. He is licensed for wood-destroying-insect (pest) inspections in addition to standard home and building inspections, and offers radon testing as part of the service. Reviews from 2021 through 2024 describe a consistent way of working: Wayne walks buyers through his findings room by room during the inspection, prioritizing safety issues ahead of minor or cosmetic ones, and typically has a written report in hand the same day or within 24 hours. A 2021 reviewer noted that because he is the company's sole employee, hiring him means working directly with someone with over 25 years of inspection experience rather than a rotating staff. First-time homebuyers repeatedly mention that he explains technical findings in plain language and patiently answers follow-up questions, and several reviewers describe his pricing as competitive - one compared his quote favorably against three other inspectors before hiring him. In a 2024 review, a homeowner who hired Wayne in 2020 said that several problems, including a foundation issue later flagged by other contractors, went unnoted in the original inspection, and that a request years afterward to resend the emailed report, delivered through a link that expires after about 90 days, went unanswered. That account stands apart from an otherwise steady three-year run of detailed, specific praise for the same inspection process. Wayne is a good fit for buyers who want a thorough, explained-in-person inspection with a fast written report, particularly first-time homebuyers navigating the process for the first time. Anyone hiring him is worth asking how the report will be delivered and how long it stays accessible, given the one account of an expired report link. **Strengths:** - Same-day reports — reviewers cite turnaround under 24 hours - Room-by-room walkthroughs — findings explained safety-first during inspection - First-time buyer focus — reviewers praise patient plain-language explanations - Competitive pricing — one reviewer cited the lowest of four quotes - Long tenure — sole proprietor and sole inspector since 1994 **Concerns:** - Report retention — a 2024 review said the emailed link expired after 90 days - Missed defect account — a 2024 review linked a 2020 inspection to a later foundation issue ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Wayne Czybora has run Bonafide Home Inspections as a sole proprietor and its only employee since February 1994, roughly three decades in the trade. _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/chelmsford/profile/home-inspection/bonafide-home-inspections-0021-83724) — “BBB profile for Bonafide Home Inspections at 20 North Rd, Chelmsford MA: not accredited, Not Rated for lack of information, sole proprietors…” - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNtMElDODJBRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x86e7f309e54eb209!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgICm0IC82AE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Wayne is thorough, efficient, meticulous, punctual, and brimming with wisdom.
